Amaravati, June 22: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu urged officials on Monday to remain vigilant against the conspiracies of certain political parties in the state. He accused these parties of attempting to politicize every issue by coloring events with caste or religious sentiments and turning them into controversies.
During a meeting held at the Real Time Government Society (RTGS) center in the state secretariat to review the operations of various departments, Naidu stated that these parties are trying to tarnish the image of employees and officials through false propaganda and malicious campaigns against the government.
He emphasized the need for employees and officials to actively work to counter false propaganda and incidents that spread hatred. Naidu noted that some recent crimes were linked to mental health issues, while others were associated with drug and cannabis addiction.
The Chief Minister mentioned that the government is addressing old cases. “Crimes from 2019 are now being investigated, and criminals are being apprehended and punished. It is essential to communicate these facts to the public. Wrongdoers will not escape justice,” he asserted.
Naidu called for strict adherence to vehicle number plate regulations, insisting they must be installed according to established standards. He also highlighted the necessity of establishing Quantum Park and Semiconductor Park, revealing plans to launch a quantum computer in December.
He stated, “We must prioritize increasing greenery, maintaining cleanliness, ensuring water security, recharging groundwater, conserving water resources, and protecting river water from pollution.”
The Chief Minister directed officials to address public grievances, including those under the Public Grievance Redressal System (PGRS), with a human approach. He stressed the importance of developing soft skills among employees and officials.
“We will encourage staff to think innovatively and assign responsibilities based on performance. They should focus on resolving complaints by empathizing with the complainants. Officials and employees must treat citizens seeking solutions to their problems with courtesy. This fosters a positive perception of the administration among the public,” Naidu remarked.
He emphasized the effective use of human resources, stating that employees need to continuously enhance their administrative skills and adapt their work methods to changing times. Decisions aligned with ground realities can only be made through field visits, which ministers, officials, and staff should prioritize.
Naidu asserted that Andhra Pradesh requires a robust human resource system. “We have trained employees and officials on administrative reforms. Previously, handling files was a significant task, but technology has made it much easier. Without new thinking, the system will stagnate and become ineffective,” he added.
The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary Sai Prasad, DGP Harish Kumar Gupta, and senior officials from various departments.
